@futurebird Local networking is perfectly sufficient for many use cases—*preferable*, considering the privacy nightmare that the internet has become. Why does every single "smart" appliance need to ping the server, when they could ping a hub? Or each other? (Or nothing at all, because what does your oven even need to network for?)It baffles me that in the past 30 years, nobody has stopped and said "Maybe not every device should be accessible from literally every other device. That's pointless."

This is why some award shows have an award for being so outstanding you're in danger of ruining the show by taking all the awards. They give the award to them at the beginning and remove them from all categories, basically letting everyone play for second place. I think more than specifically any game being better at X than E33, I think a lot of people are mostly just upset there were so many great games that just didn't win anything because E33 was there.

My DND group is all men, because it's just me. Someone please play with me.

@mathew Thing is... it's not as bad as it seems. It's just a different sum than the one for area.But getting jump scared by ∮ could do any of us in.

What? Somebody worked for free? Poppycock.

@burnitdown @epicdemiologist They still make and sell them so they must be useful to some teachers. https://www.therapro.com/Dual-Controlled-Training-Scissors.html

I'd pay to watch the top-right fight.

@clarablackink @johnzajac It's different when it's a particular person who is asking you to buy something vs. a company that's just asking everyone. With a person you matter enough to take a moment of their time. You can respond say "hey that was too pushy" or just enjoy what they are offering. It's the "mass" individuality stripping nature that's hostile. The Colgate company doesn't care about my teeth. Amazon doesn't care if I have a "warm holiday" but they talk like they do.

> just pirate Second that. Also, I'm sure everyone at Remedy perfectly knew that there will be close to zero profit from sales on EGS. Things like that planned beforehand.

Alright but "inspired by" is a far cry from "did or will do all the same stuff". They want a strong half-celestial dude that kills monsters.

@futurebird @alexwild @MyrmecolNews I remain convinced the author of the mirror test for ants paper intended to be mockery of the whole concept of mirror test.

@futurebird when the iceberg compiled the human, they turned off all the warnings and that's why the human is such trash ...

However, in the wild, there are more variables. Ant colony wars are less inevitable. In urban and suburban environments most of the conspicuous ant wars you see are between ants of the same species, often sister colonies founded at the same time. These ants are Tetramorium sp., the pavement ant, when these ants live under suburban sidewalks the summer nearly always ends in war.

The Ottawa Senators once had what should have been one of the greatest lineups in hockey. The 2005 lineup had Heatley, Chara, Alfredsson, Spezza, and Hasek in net. https://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/leagues/seasons/teams/0000542006.html The management got so bad there were billboards put up demanding the owner sell the team.

@Virginicus

@sashin I think it's on the bottom... like a surprise. But I think having her there kind of explains why they are... like that.

@pavsmith I feel like the word "terrorism" has become meaningless sometimes. And it seems to be a "thought stopping word" --But I also agree with you. The purpose of hate crimes is terror. To tell people they don't belong and eliminate them as equal participants in society.Which is exactly what all of these Nazis have been saying over and over without push-back from enough people ... while some are just silent and others invite them over for dinner.
